Hi! When we initially set up our QBO accounts, we'd linked the business credit cards. We quickly decided to go a different route with the credit cards and unlinked the accounts. However our balance sheet shows a negative Beginning Balance for each of the cards. There is no other activity for these accounts. How do I clear these balances?

We can make the bank account inactive since there's no activity entered on the credit card account. If the account has a balance, QuickBooks will create a journal entry to zero it out. Please know that the transactions in the account will remain on your records and will still affect your reports. Here's how:
To learn more about this one, see the Delete an account on your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online article. To see your list of inactive accounts, you can click the Gear icon above the Chart of accounts table. Then, place a checkmark in the Include Inactive checkbox. If you'll want to remain the account active, we'll need to create a journal entry transaction to correct this. Let me show you how:
For the journal entries created, you can look into the Journal report. Just go to the Reports menu and then search and click Journal. Also, for future reference, you can check the Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online in reconciling your bank account.
